Agreed - you can improve a skill that hasn't been used for 2HP (IIRC), penalising the character for having almost used a skill by forbidding improvement of it is unjustifiable. Anyway, it would be better from the player's POV to just pay the higher cost of improvement on the broader ability. Why cement for 1HP at 16 - 3 = 13, when for 2HP you can have 17 - 3 = 14 in future?
